Bitter
How time flies...and how God has blessed me...
I cant really help but wonder...
Its almost a year now...
It was the last thing I ever assumed, imagined could happen to me...yet it did.
I never did anything wrong...on the contrary, I was efficient.
I was never overly late
I was appraised fairly
I had it all going well
and suddenly...
from the blues...
I got the Letter...
What was I supposed to do? Think, Talk, Shout, Scream, weep, protest?
I was confused.
And I was sad.
Very Sad that after putting in my very best, it would end that way.
Not a note of warning, nothing to alert me that it was coming.
It simply knocked me off....a mere letter

Sweet
It gave me opportunities...
I did what I always dreamed of doing, but was to shy to find out how.
I learned things that would help me tomorrow and put food on my table should the need arise...things that would just guide my decision...
I got another opportunity...
I got a better chance.
To Start again...on the right foot...
To learn to think about my future everyday...
To learn to live everyday...
To meet new people
To see things from a different perspective...
To be compassionate...
To rise...
To believe...
To trust...

BITTERSWEET
I have learned...
When things happen to you, you would never know the "why" at that point...
All you are armed with is the knowledge that it is happening to you at that point.
What you don't know is that a picture is being formed... a portrait, a puzzle, a mosaic...
All you can see as well as others is "this is what I am going through now" picture
Every point in ones life is a "this-is-what-is-happening-now" time
Finally, we get to see the whole picture and look back and say "oh" i never knew...
then we look back at the BiTtErSwEeT memories and SMILE!

"Distrated"

Permit me to use this new word coined from Disappointed and Frustrated. Thank you. And no, I don't feel this way right now at all. Far from it. On the contrary I am on a high. *wink* Ok. I promised to do a post on my jewellery project, but I'll still get to do it. This story has been pushing itself to me since yesterday and share it I must. There was a Retreat for some of my colleagues  in May, and I was to be a part of it. Notice for the Retreat was rather short and it actually conflicted with my brother-in-Law's (BIL) wedding. Well, the retreat was in Benin for Tuesday to Friday, and the wedding was in Kwara State for Friday and Saturday. This meant I had to pack a suitcase for the 2 events, right? Well, my MIL had graciously sent me the fabrics (Aso-ebi) for the Traditional and Church wedding, and I still hadn't found a tailor to help me make something really nice. (I wanted to dress to impress my would be in-laws). AS time was running out, I ditched...

All of it...

Hello lovely people of blogsville!!! I hope you missed me half as much as I missed you? :) I am seriously clearing cobwebs, spiders, bats and all from this blog.  So I am married now shaaaaaa...after what, 3 years of dating this guy? God has been faithful, that the only thing I can say. I really want to thank you for all the congratulatory messages, tweets, love and all. God bless you all. You know you and you know I know you too. lol! Thanks a lot for still sticking to this blog, It honestly means a lot to me. To all my new followers, I appreciate you too! Ha, I went to the moon to "drink honey", and I am back to reality real time. Its been like 2 years since I took a break from work, and it was a beautiful experience (the honeymoon and the break from work) I tell you. Not that I haven't been entitled to a break, but I always tie them down to events, exams and what not, so I haven't really rested per say. I fear I have so much to say that I don...

Little clusters

I have been feeling out of sorts of late, not illness, not depression, just a bit detached from everything. I have no reason to feel this way, things are going well in my life, but there is just this ...thing I can't actually place my hands on. I know it's there, at the back of my mind, but I have decided to leave it there, at the back. I won't give myself headache for something I can't control. Why should I worry? My God is there to deal with it anyway! Its amazing how far a kind word, thought, deed or prayer will go. In this my "undefined" state, I suddenly saw a notification on my phone, it was a direct message on twitter by @gbemisoke, and she said a word of prayer for me. I can't express how I felt, but it was a word in season. I almost cried when I saw it, and I felt like in the whole universe, God had put a spot light on me. At the same time, I saw that a friend had changed her DP to my picture and her PM was "Friends are an important ...
